As an old fart, it's so great to see younger people experience what old parts experienced in the 80's. You all deserve this soon much. We were spoiled. You battled through lean years. Go OIL!!!
We were spoiled indeed. We expected deep runs in the playoffs every year and usually got them. And then we didn't. For a long time. Except 2006, where a goal or two at the right time could have had them win it all... but they didn't.
I was very lucky as a young boy to be in Northlands Colleseum and watch Gretzky and Messier, and Anderson and kurri hoist the cup. This is the craziest run I've ever seen in sports. All sports. Make em pay boys. For every damn second.
My team was on the losing side of the Gretzky lead team in 1988 and 1990 so I still hold that as a grudge. Having said that this Stanley Cup Final is one for the ages and I hope the Oilers are able to pull off the greatest comeback in pro sports history, it definitely would top the Red Sox comeback over the Yankees in 2004 because that was only for the American League Championship.
"Time to"? Gretzky and Messier already wrote history for you guys. Don't get greedy now. 5 Cups from 84'-90'. There's teams that haven't won a single Cup lol. I get that it's been a while but the Oilers have the greatest dynasty of all time ALREADY "written".
@@Remmy0930 The history part is the fact that a team that was almost written off, climbs from nearly the last past team, all the way to the top, and takes it from a 3 nil series, to now tied. That's the historical part. Also, greedy? What you talking about, out of the 20+ teams, a quarter of them, are Canadian, and in the last 30 years, there was no Canadian team taking the cup. It's time for things to change. Also, if you want to talk about greed, Flordia already has a SuperBowl, and 2 Stanleys in the last 5 years.
@@Remmy0930 Also, it's been a generation, and there were no cups seen from a country that produces the best hockey players. Every single NHL team has Canadian players. Have you taken notice, that in other "leagues" that play hockey, Canada generally dominates. Look at the Olympics, or World Championships, or the World Juniors, or IIHF, and take a look at who pretty much dominates... but in the NHL in the last 30 years... it's an anomaly... Something's up... are they trying to play WWE...tis weird
I've been watching and cheering for Edmonton for 35 years. No matter what happens tomorrow night. It will be a great game, and I'm proud of out team. I look forward to seeing them hoist the cup. (im hopeful)
I want to sincerely congratulate any Edmonton Oiler fan, even before game 7 plays out. There is strong evidence, IMHO, that the Oilers will win the last game. The Panthers would've already flipped the switch had they been able to and finished the series and won the Cup. Now the pressure is squarely on Florida and any little weakness sensed in the early stages of Game 7 will be exacerbated and exploited by Edmonton. This is the type of run a fan can only dream of, and as long as it isn't the Flyers, the Capitals, the Bruins or the NYR (I am a Penguins fan), I can easily be happy for the true fans of a team pulling this dream season off. The things McDavid has done, and the way Skinner has played, it's very easy to like and admire this Edmonton team. Starting 2-9-1, then going 11-0 in January... what a ride. So soak it in my NHL brothers who live and die Edmonton Oilers. Whatever happens, and I told you what I think, you've already earned your place in the history books, and very few fans, of any sport, can say they've experienced anything like YOU have this season.
Am with you on that. The Panthers are on a very bad losing streak and à lot of things must be going through their minds like : - what will we look like in the history books if we lose game 7 and therefore the Stanley Cup ? - Have Edmonton found multiple weak spots in our game that we haven't figured out and will continue to press on where it hurts ? - How do we get out of this losing spiral vs a team that are on a winning one and seem to have no flaws ? The only thing going for the Panthers is the fact the game will be played on their home ice. Had it been in Edmonton I'd have sincerely put this as a win for the Oilers.
The only way I can see this play out is Edmonton winning. It seems like it has to be this way, otherwise what does it all mean? I hope they finish this incredible thing they started. One last step. Make history boys!
I have been an Oilers fan for ever I was born premature in Grand Prairie, then sent to Edmonton. I had an oilers onesie suit. I was 2 1/2 pounds ever since I was hooked when I was smaller Ryan Smith was my favourite player. I went to Cujo‘s first game in Edmonton. Hopefully these guys can pull it off and then we can party like it’s 1980s let’s go Oilers!!!!
Thing most seem to have forgotten is before the season began. They were cup favorites for awhile. And the Connor Brown hype was real. Then we went and had that start which going from cup favorites to a laughing stock and Brown couldn't score for his life. All worked out in the end now and all the preseason hype might just come to fruition. Even Brown being a star we needed.
My dude, I was 10 years old when the Oilers entered the NHL in 1979. Gretzky and the HOF players all drafted in about 2 years time. Unreal time, like many others have said, we were spoiled and didn't really know what we had. Then the 90s came and all of our boys left town. Don't forget everyone, we almost lost the team in '98. Then '06 happened, I don't even want to talk about it because it still stings. Many dark years, high draft picks and finally here we are. I couldn't be happier or prouder of this team and what they did to get here. Oil Country is simply amazing. I love your content and your work, thank you for doing what you do. Go Oilers!
Bro also born 69 I was at NORTHLANDS when Gordie Howe and his sons with Hartford came to town , we seen the best team hockey ever seen in the 80s . GO OILERS GO
Yeah born in 68 lived in the Edmonton area through those yeas. My God what a team. Bringing Paul Coffey back to coach the defensemen was a genius move.
We’ll done bro! Your passion is genuine. I hope the Oilers can complete the comeback and make history; something that will be talked about forever and be a legacy for hockey. Don’t pay attention to the haters and trolls - they’re by far the minority. Most of the country, and true hockey fans, are rallying for the Oilers. Great stache BTW, it gives Skinner’s a run for the money!
Well I'm a Canadian from Edmonton living here in the Philippines and I'm anxiously waiting to see the Oilers holding that cup. Even if I'm the only person here who seems to care about hockey.
Ha! Don't they call it "ice hockey"? I was in Manilla once, when the Sens and the Flyers had a bench clearing brawl. It was covered in some obscure column of a lengthy sports section. - Sens fan. Are you live streaming the final game? What time will it be for you?
I’ve been a hockey fan since the late sixties. This series has been one for the ages! Living in Ottawa, I grew up as a Habs fan but have now switched my allegiance to the Sens since we got our own team, but I have always had a soft spot for the Oilers after watching those great teams from the eighties. Sending love and best wishes to all the Oilers fans in Edmonton and wherever you live. Bring that cup back to Canada!
new to this channel but love it man! i live close to bakersfield ca, ( oilers farm asso) where i go and watch many games a year, used to watch skinner all the time when he was down there. edmonton in 7 baby!!
Bolts fan here and this reminds me so much of the 04 Cup. Remember watching that series when I was six years old and to see Marty, Vinny, and Brad lift the cup for the first time it was amazing. The pressure is here for the Panthers. Hockey is one of my favorite sports and the life of hockey in Florida growing up down there was not that great cause many people believe that hockey couldn’t make it down there but now the tides have shifted. Just amazing that this is happening and what ever happens this will be one of the best cups I have ever seen. Good Luck to both teams 👍⚡️
I'm a Canucks/Rangers fan. And I tell ya, i'm extremely proud of both my teams. Vancouver going from the worst to a contender was something beautiful to see. And the Rangers almost making it to the dance was something as well. But before all that, I was a Blackhawks fan back during the dynasty years. I remember watching Game 6 of 2015 and them shutting out Tampa at home to win Lord Stanley. as a fan who cheered on a team that went all the way, there's no better feeling. And I hope we get to see the Oiler revel in that ecstasy. Good luck tonight man, this Canucks/Rangers fan is rooting for ya.
I've been watching the Oilers since 1979. My family is from all over Alberta but we moved to Edmonton (again) in 1979. The best Oilers playoff game I've been to was the Mark Lamb goal game. Probably the most entertaining games were the 80's games and having front-row seats for some Semenko fights.
FL here- friendly;) In 95, I worked in Miami Lakes@ Don Shula's Sports bar. We were rooting for the new Panthers ( if I could find that hat in Jersey and shirt the hotel gave us to wear, OMG) we are excited that they got that far. Couple years later, I took one care of one of the players in the hospital aft he broke his jaw. Been a fan ever since. Don't give up on them!!! FL, let's keep the cup here where it's red white and blue❤🤍💙!! EITHER WAY.. this is iconic. Even that empty net save the puck by the stick even if for 3 sec- what a moment! 😊
We got this, dude! :D I gotta say, I started watching hockey when I lived in San Francisco, so my first 2 years I was cheering for the Sharks. But once I moved up to Edmonton 11 years ago, and saw, not only the passion of the team, but the FANS and the entire culture, I was hooked and went full hardcore fan-mode! It's gonna feel amazing watching the cup get hoisted in Canada, it's rightful place, tonight! As for the haters, there's far more Canadians that are cheering for us, despite rivalries, than there are haters. I have a Flames fan, a Leafs fan, and a Vancouver fan coming to my place, all in their Team Canada jerseys to watch the game and cheer for oilers.... As soon as we win, we can go back to beefing and sht talking. :)
Man it’s been such a ride for me. Only got into hockey in ‘97 and have been an oilers fan since. So many ups and downs, rebuilding, hope and then total letdown. The oilers deserve to win this… !
As a Michigan native and red sings fan, I couldn’t be happier for the oilers my guy. Great team, great coach, great comeback…and I’ve thought for years now McDavid is such a good thing for hockey. I’m happy for you guys and I’m rooting for the Oil tonight!
I'm an Edmontonian I watched the Oilers win the Cups (Gretzky, Anderson, Messier, Semenko, Anderson, Yari Kuri, etc.) when i was 15 Years of Age sitting with my dad on the couch in my home. I grew up with the Oilers and have cheered for them my whole life. I am now 55 (where did the time go?) but i still watch and cheer for the Oilers. What an incredible series! Go Oilers Go! I have sooo much anxiety in me I can hardly wait till Monday night!
I was there in 2006, 12 years old cheering and screaming and I was there growing up through the hard times. Now I feel like a child again, only difference is that some people are gone now and I have a wife and 2 children and I want them to feel what I felt back then. I'm actually going to the original pizza shop that me and my brother went to every game for those 2006 finals for the start of game 7. LETS GO OILERS! BLEED COPPER AND BLUE!
As a Leafs fan Im very happy for Oiler fans. Its everything I wish my team could be and more. As a further bonus, if the Panthers lose it'll make me feel a bit better as far as chokes go.
They'd get slapped if they did that. Bob stole game 1 all on his own. He's not playing near well enough to do that now. Game 2, all Panthers. But again, take Brick Wall Bob out of the picture. Third period of game 3 is when the flood gates opened, and the panthers have been getting spanked ever sinse. Oilers are looking significantly better
I'm happy that younger Oiler fans can now feel what some of us older fans were able to enjoy during the Gretzky and Messier years. I know there is one massive game to still win, but I pray we do. Let's go Oilers!!!!
I'm so old that not only do I recall the Oilers' 5 Cups in 7 years but I recall Bobby Orr in his prime (pre-dating Edmonton's first Stanley Cup by almost 15 years). Bobby Orr was the greatest player of the 20th century but today the Oilers have the greatest player in the history of the game in Connor McDavid. Oilers fans have been fortunate enough to have had the most prolific scorer of all-time playing for their then 30 years later the greatest player ever. I'm thinking that Connor McDavid could lift up and lead the Oilers to a Stanley Cup victory.
Been a fan since '83, through all the Cups and this is as exciting as it was back then. Take it in, savor every moment and remember, the haters just can't comprehend what they are witnessing, they need to explain it away. GO OIL!!
I've been an Oilers fan since birth in the early 80s, I didn't have a choice, I was just born this way... Very excited, very anxious for tonight... 8 hours
I've been an Oilers fan, from New Mexico, USA, since at least 1977. I was ecstatic when they joined the NHL. I've enjoyed the previous five Cups and I'm hoping to see a sixth. There have been great years and horrible years, but I gotta stick with them.
I've been watching hockey since I was a young kid in the early 90s...I just missed the Gretsky oilers era... Instead was fond of Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr... And I clearly remember Patrick Roy lifting the cup in 1993 with Montreal... It's hard to believe a Canadian team hasn't been able to get the job done for the 30 years since... Hoping for all of Canada's sake that the Oilers make history tomorrow night and at the same time break the Canadian cup drought! I'll be watching from Melbourne, Australia... Taking time off work to watch LIVE.... LET'S GO OILERSSSSSS!!! 🟧🟦🟧
Hey ! Thanks I have lost half of my hair during this year's playoff run by my beloved OILERS! I don't care if I go bold forever after this ! Let's do this Boys! Bring the cup back to Edmonton-Alberta and CANADA !!
I bleed orange and blue and I was hoping they could get just one last week. Now I’m hoping they can get just one more. Stanley’s cup belongs in the north so… GO OIL GO
This has been a legacy defining series for McDavid. The “drag them back to Alberta” quote will become one of the greatest in NHL history. Great players make great moments. How long until this comeback becomes an answer on Jeopardy?
Is this Oilers team the Gretzky, Kerry, Messier, Coffee magical lineup? Nope, not by a long shot. But they're definitely special. A team that embodies relentless determination and lightning-fast agility, never backing down and always outpacing the competition, when their backs are against the wall. Yeah, they're legends in the making, win or lose.
@@suzukibeane1220 Sure hope so. McMagic is way too quick for his peers. It's a double edged sword, and so many missed opportunities because of it. The management needs to trade up for fast centers, and wingers. Drai isn't enough. And if that happens, look out.
This is a team that mix both the stardom of the 80's with the hard working squad of '06. What the '06 team never had was a talent, a differencemaker like McDavid.
For an avid Habs fan, any Canadian team who denies another Florida team from stealing the Cup is gonna be a saviour for me. Couldn't stand TB beating Habs in 2021 lol...
I used to drive school bus in a small town forty six years ago, and would drive a charter bus from my small town taking people to watch the Oilers play in the Coliseum... Of course I got a nosebleed free seat, and I had never seen nor heard so many people cheering and yelling as I watched Gretzky, Coffey, Semanko, and the rat pack play teams from all over. Small town farm boy, I was actually thinking of Samson and the whole place falling down and getting crushed by the cement roof, and it freaked me out, so I prefer watching the playoffs Oilers for once getting past the Kings... bought the Connor McDavid jersey, have two of them actually, would like a Leon D and Zach H and a few others... but yeah, I am in hockey withdrawal, like there is only one chip or one pizza or one Pepsi left or one M&M left... and oatmeal and water will be so bland after this amazing Oilers comeback from everything... it has been impressive, amazing and they have already won in my honest opinion and eyes...Well done management and players, if only they could get over the ONLY PLAY WHEN THEY HAVE TO mentality and build a Trump wall at their blue line and kill off three periods like they kill off two and five minute penalties shorthanded and get some DEFENCE when they are one goal ahead, that is all you need to win the game.
I'm a life long fan, from WHA days.... Celebrated 5 Stanley Cup victories in Jasper Ave with 100,000 drunken fans, there's nothing better!!! It's been 34 years since the last one, let's do it Oilers!!!!!!
Here to root for the Oilers. Diehard Bruins fan since the Orr days and to see the Panthers beat the B's in the last 2 playoffs, especially last year's record breaking season the Oilers can take a little sting out of it.😂
60 hard miles are all that separate this team from becoming the stuff of legends. It won't be easy, but I don't see this team storming all the way back from from 0-3 to lose it in 7. They're putting up a full team effort from the special teams, to the depth, to Stuart the enforcer coming up clutch when they need him most. The panthers look absolutely defeated, but they're not out yet. That said the oilers have picked apart their weaknesses and are using their strengths against them. I don't know about you but I can't wait until tomorrow night. LFGOIL
The only game Florida outworked the Oilers was Game #2. Bobrovsky stole 2 games. And now the Oilers are making him pay for his crimes. This has been a whole team effort by the Oilers. Oilers 4-1 on Monday, with Foegele getting game winner.
@@gkarenko9593 Very true. This team is not getting enough credit for the depth players. It's all McDavid all the time, and , yes, he is the best player in the world now, but it takes more than just one player. Ask Ovechkin. Janmark, Brown, Henrique, Foegele, and others are laying it all out there every game. My hats off to them.
This series has taken like 5 years off my life i swear to god.
Feels like I’m aging a year a minute waiting for game 7
Those were shitty feeble old years anyways. You won't miss them when you get a final like this.
@@kingmanic depends on which way it goes 🤣
This entire post season other than LA has been nuts.
Rum will relax you.
As an old fart, it's so great to see younger people experience what old parts experienced in the 80's. You all deserve this soon much. We were spoiled. You battled through lean years. Go OIL!!!

For a long time.
Except 2006, where a goal or two at the right time could have had them win it all... but they didn't.
You are not an old fart sir, I call it “experienced” is that how you spell it? Idk, how old are you if you don’t mind me asking you?
Love your takes buddy. Mirrors the feelings of all big-time oilers fans. Love it.

Goodluck mister, were pulling for yall. Leafs Nation. Peace ✌️ 😎.
As a Michigan native and red sings fan, I couldn’t be happier for the oilers my guy. Great team, great coach, great comeback…and I’ve thought for years now McDavid is such a good thing for hockey.
I’m happy for you guys and I’m rooting for the Oil tonight!
I'm a Michigander Wings fan who's rooting for Edmonton as well they're my second favorite team
40 years Habs fan, but watching McDavid over the last 3-4 years made me a Oilers fan from day one of this season, no regrets.
GO OILERS!!!
I'm an Edmontonian I watched the Oilers win the Cups (Gretzky, Anderson, Messier, Semenko, Anderson, Yari Kuri, etc.) when i was 15 Years of Age sitting with my dad on the couch in my home.
I grew up with the Oilers and have cheered for them my whole life. I am now 55 (where did the time go?) but i still watch and cheer for the Oilers.
What an incredible series! Go Oilers Go! I have sooo much anxiety in me I can hardly wait till Monday night!
I'm thrilled for you! Sincerely! I'm caught up in the hype and think McDavid is the best part of hockey right now. - Sens fan
Thank God they lost !!! They are Losers. Moron.
You should be eating your words about Connor Brown. He's built for the playoffs and he's doing just that.
I was there in 2006, 12 years old cheering and screaming and I was there growing up through the hard times. Now I feel like a child again, only difference is that some people are gone now and I have a wife and 2 children and I want them to feel what I felt back then. I'm actually going to the original pizza shop that me and my brother went to every game for those 2006 finals for the start of game 7. LETS GO OILERS! BLEED COPPER AND BLUE!
LET'S GO OILERS!
Leaf fan here in Toronto pulling for the oilers to win
Go Oil from Vancouver! I'll probably hate you again next year but for now it's all love :D
Lets go oilers from NZ
Pulling for the Oil in Wisconsin 🎉
Atta boy! A lot of cheese heads up here FYI! Go PACK!
@@LARGO125 I'm actually a Minnesota fan, Wild/Vikings/Twins
@@brandtanderson930 wow. You live in Wisconsin and you cheer for Minny? You sir are a brave man!
As a Leafs fan Im very happy for Oiler fans. Its everything I wish my team could be and more. As a further bonus, if the Panthers lose it'll make me feel a bit better as far as chokes go.
Don't forget Bostons playoff choke in last years record-breaking eegular season. That really pissed me off!
Panthers need to re watch their 1st three games on replay. Then re dedicate this last game of the 2024 season to each other !
They'd get slapped if they did that. Bob stole game 1 all on his own. He's not playing near well enough to do that now. Game 2, all Panthers. But again, take Brick Wall Bob out of the picture. Third period of game 3 is when the flood gates opened, and the panthers have been getting spanked ever sinse. Oilers are looking significantly better
from Calgary but originally from Manitoba and was a Oilers fan in the 80s lots of fun to watch this play off
I'm happy that younger Oiler fans can now feel what some of us older fans were able to enjoy during the Gretzky and Messier years. I know there is one massive game to still win, but I pray we do. Let's go Oilers!!!!
I am old enough to remember 3 of the Oilers Stanley cup wins. I am Oil through and through. I have never given up.
I'm so old that not only do I recall the Oilers' 5 Cups in 7 years but I recall Bobby Orr in his prime (pre-dating Edmonton's first Stanley Cup by almost 15 years).
Bobby Orr was the greatest player of the 20th century but today the Oilers have the greatest player in the history of the game in Connor McDavid. Oilers fans have been fortunate enough to have had the most prolific scorer of all-time playing for their then 30 years later the greatest player ever.
I'm thinking that Connor McDavid could lift up and lead the Oilers to a Stanley Cup victory.
I was 21, living in sherwood with roommates in 06. Im 39, in Vancouver with 7 kids now all geared up for our oilers. ONE MORE BOYS!!!
First time tuning into your channel. You gotta moustache like Skinner.
Hope your team wins it tonight.
hello from Germany and i say Lets go OILERS good Luck Oilers
I had chest pains watching some of those games - UGH.. Go Oilers!
Been a fan since '83, through all the Cups and this is as exciting as it was back then. Take it in, savor every moment and remember, the haters just can't comprehend what they are witnessing, they need to explain it away. GO OIL!!
Conner is one of the best to ever lace em up he will not be denied his cup!
Yep Brownie is a beaut!
Oh, you meant the other guy, right?😅
That is the true statement one of the best the best is Wayne Gretzky and he will always be the best.
I've been an Oilers fan since birth in the early 80s, I didn't have a choice, I was just born this way... Very excited, very anxious for tonight... 8 hours
From underdogs to Madd Dawgs! You bet we believe!
I have been on a big mood swing on and off because Oilers holds a reverse script this whole season. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
Lots of Canucks fans now support the Oilers for sure!!!!
i been watching the Oilers since 2010 love is team🧡💙
I feel sick just thinking about watching the game this evening I can’t watch it alone
I've been an Oilers fan, from New Mexico, USA, since at least 1977. I was ecstatic when they joined the NHL. I've enjoyed the previous five Cups and I'm hoping to see a sixth. There have been great years and horrible years, but I gotta stick with them.
I've been watching hockey since I was a young kid in the early 90s...I just missed the Gretsky oilers era... Instead was fond of Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr... And I clearly remember Patrick Roy lifting the cup in 1993 with Montreal... It's hard to believe a Canadian team hasn't been able to get the job done for the 30 years since... Hoping for all of Canada's sake that the Oilers make history tomorrow night and at the same time break the Canadian cup drought! I'll be watching from Melbourne, Australia... Taking time off work to watch LIVE.... LET'S GO OILERSSSSSS!!! 🟧🟦🟧
I'm a 45 year old Leafs fan ...and all I can say is: GO GET IT OILERS!! 🎉🏆🇨🇦
nobody cares if you're a Leafs fan. You should be ashamed to say that.
Hey ! Thanks
I have lost half of my hair during this year's playoff run by my beloved OILERS!
I don't care if I go bold forever after this !
Let's do this Boys!
Bring the cup back to Edmonton-Alberta and CANADA !!
I've been married to bald man for 15 years and going strong. I was married to a bold man for 14 years prior to that. Bald is better! And beautiful.
My father wanted to move here for Gretzky, I moved here for work lol
I bleed orange and blue and I was hoping they could get just one last week. Now I’m hoping they can get just one more. Stanley’s cup belongs in the north so… GO OIL GO
This has been a legacy defining series for McDavid. The “drag them back to Alberta” quote will become one of the greatest in NHL history. Great players make great moments. How long until this comeback becomes an answer on Jeopardy?
We gotta believe everyone, because tonight, the stanley cup champion will be decided.
Let's go oilers
I mostly watched just the game highlights the past 3 years and the full games for playoffs. Best way to save time.
We will not just be champions, these Edmonton Oilers will be Legends
Is this Oilers team the Gretzky, Kerry, Messier, Coffee magical lineup? Nope, not by a long shot. But they're definitely special. A team that embodies relentless determination and lightning-fast agility, never backing down and always outpacing the competition, when their backs are against the wall. Yeah, they're legends in the making, win or lose.
Could this be the beginning of McDavid Era 2024, 2025, 2027, 2028, 2030 like the Gretzky Era ('84, '85 '87 '88 '9o)?
@@suzukibeane1220 Sure hope so. McMagic is way too quick for his peers. It's a double edged sword, and so many missed opportunities because of it. The management needs to trade up for fast centers, and wingers. Drai isn't enough. And if that happens, look out.
@@deeperfaces That makes sense. Thanks for sharing.
This is a team that mix both the stardom of the 80's with the hard working squad of '06.
What the '06 team never had was a talent, a differencemaker like McDavid.
Will be watching Game 7 tonight!!! Here's hoping it'll play like 1942 with a Reverse Sweep!!! Lets Go Oilers!!!! CHEERS! 😊🇨🇦🏒
The game will go to overtime tonight with #19 scoring ,assist from #9 . That would be a perfect ending.
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Seriously wonder how many of my coworkers are gonna be in the office in Edmonton this Monday. Let alone Tuesday, however it goes hahaha
if Edmonton wins the week is done for
For an avid Habs fan, any Canadian team who denies another Florida team from stealing the Cup is gonna be a saviour for me. Couldn't stand TB beating Habs in 2021 lol...
I'm going to cry win or lose!
I used to drive school bus in a small town forty six years ago, and would drive a charter bus from my small town taking people to watch the Oilers play in the Coliseum... Of course I got a nosebleed free seat, and I had never seen nor heard so many people cheering and yelling as I watched Gretzky, Coffey, Semanko, and the rat pack play teams from all over.
Small town farm boy, I was actually thinking of Samson and the whole place falling down and getting crushed by the cement roof, and it freaked me out, so I prefer watching the playoffs Oilers for once getting past the Kings... bought the Connor McDavid jersey, have two of them actually, would like a Leon D and Zach H and a few others... but yeah, I am in hockey withdrawal, like there is only one chip or one pizza or one Pepsi left or one M&M left... and oatmeal and water will be so bland after this amazing Oilers comeback from everything... it has been impressive, amazing and they have already won in my honest opinion and eyes...Well done management and players, if only they could get over the ONLY PLAY WHEN THEY HAVE TO mentality and build a Trump wall at their blue line and kill off three periods like they kill off two and five minute penalties shorthanded and get some DEFENCE when they are one goal ahead, that is all you need to win the game.
The worst that could happen in this game is it going to overtime and then penalties. It would be unjust for players and fans.
playoff games are not decided on penalty shots.
OT is possible
🧡💙LET'S GO OILERS🧡💙
🇨🇦 🏒BRING IT HOME🏒🇨🇦
it's hard to get too excited, like mcdavid said, they haven't won anything yet... but here's hoping!!
Hope and grab a bible.
Oilers all the way babyyyyyyyyyyyy🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I know right? It's crazy LET'S GO OILERS 🧡💙🧡
I'm still in pain from 06, tonight we heal.
I'm a life long fan, from WHA days.... Celebrated 5 Stanley Cup victories in Jasper Ave with 100,000 drunken fans, there's nothing better!!! It's been 34 years since the last one, let's do it Oilers!!!!!!
My grandparents and parents after them owned a campground in Pincher!
Ahahah this is so sick! Thanks for sharing man. I've camped at that campground!
Here to root for the Oilers. Diehard Bruins fan since the Orr days and to see the Panthers beat the B's in the last 2 playoffs, especially last year's record breaking season the Oilers can take a little sting out of it.😂
Go Oilers!!!
LETS GO OILERS!!
there ain't no lets go Oilers chant in Vancouver, lmao
I've said this year is the Cup, for 34 years. I might finally be right!😂
60 hard miles are all that separate this team from becoming the stuff of legends. It won't be easy, but I don't see this team storming all the way back from from 0-3 to lose it in 7. They're putting up a full team effort from the special teams, to the depth, to Stuart the enforcer coming up clutch when they need him most. The panthers look absolutely defeated, but they're not out yet. That said the oilers have picked apart their weaknesses and are using their strengths against them. I don't know about you but I can't wait until tomorrow night. LFGOIL
I hope they can drive those whole 60 miles
not sure, why, but this team, is just the reason for thinking +
I'm thinking plus as well
Big 🧠
When they win, go downtown, take a go-pro and film it all.
It's a shame the Panthers fans don't play.By their talk ,one would think they had immense talent.Mn.Wild fan,just a little south of the Can AM border.
I started watching this team when I was 4 the time that I almost quit watching this team was when they traded Ryan smith and hemsky
The only game Florida outworked the Oilers was Game #2. Bobrovsky stole 2 games. And now the Oilers are making him pay for his crimes. This has been a whole team effort by the Oilers. Oilers 4-1 on Monday, with Foegele getting game winner.
And not a McDavid point in sight...
That should worry the Panthers the most. They can win even if he doesn't get points.
@@gkarenko9593 Very true. This team is not getting enough credit for the depth players. It's all McDavid all the time, and , yes, he is the best player in the world now, but it takes more than just one player. Ask Ovechkin. Janmark, Brown, Henrique, Foegele, and others are laying it all out there every game. My hats off to them.
@@Altario - and some are playing hurt but still contributing!
